Default Exhaust Even Worth Selling?

Hey CL. I just put on the F-Sport exhaust to my 350 and have the original exhaust sitting in my garage.

My question is. Would anyone even want to buy a stock exhaust? If so what would be a good selling price? Keep in mind it only has 5000 miles on it due to the car being new.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Have a Merry Christmas.

Honestly, I would keep it. Just in case you want a different car in the future. You can just put your car back to stock and sell your aftermarket parts separate. Or just try to sell it because you'll never know who would need one. And Merry christams to you too

On club Lexus, people usually give them away for free. But you can try to grab $50-200 on craigslist. Otherwise, it probably is best to hold onto it, especially if you have room to store it. Happy holidays!

I give away mine for free. I don't want any unwanted stuff in my house. Well, the reason i'm not keeping it because i know that i'm not gonna trade in my car any time soon so why would i keep it for years? Exhaust is not a small thing so ................

Thanks for the info. I looked up the guy in Nor Cal and he already bought one. Oh well. I will probably try selling on Craigslist and hope to get 150-200

If you have the room, and ever plan to sell the car, keep it.

Why? here's the math:


Sell the stock piece: Get maybe $50-200 max.

Keep the stock piece, put it back on when you are getting rid of the car, sell the F-sport piece for $600-800.

$600-800 is more than $50-200. The labor involved to swap one more time is very minimal. You're unlikely to turn that $50-200 into $600-800 any other way in the few years you'll have the car.

Find room for it, and hold onto it. Nobody keeps a car forever. I have done massive mods to my stereo system, but still have all of my factory door speakers, sub and Lexus amp put away safely, for when the day comes that I pull all of my aftermarket stuff back out and sell the car. I have Tanabe exhaust coming (due here Tuesday, can't wait!), and have already made a spot for the OE exhaust to go. You will always end up putting it back on in the end, or wish that you could.
